Submit an Artifact

Be part of the Great Canadian Quilt! Everyone can contribute by using this public submission form to tell the story of artifacts that are meaningful to you, as well as submit images and related documentary materials. What objects are important to you? Any personal object, textile, folk, or handicraft that relates a story that is part of the Canadian cultural and historical fabric is an ideal contribution, adding to our understanding of our collective history. Objects that capture stories of people, events, and places are perfect candidates.

All entries will be reviewed and public contributions will appear in the quilt within 48 hours of submission. If you have questions or comments, please contact us at narrativethreads@textilemuseum.ca
